Tonight we give you our pilot episode of a periodic format we will start soon called the 15 min power hour.

4 hosts, 4 topics 15 mins per topic.

Topics will be varied and not just board gaming each time. This week we have Marty Tiffany Chris and Dan as our hosts.

Topics include Movie re-boots, iOS gaming, stand out games and Kickstarter!

I threw out some whacky names for re-boots or sequels that I know I will get grief over but I will defend them at a later date I gotta head to game night right now!

Thanks for listening!

Direct DL is here!
